• Avoid Excess Moisture: Leather is naturally porous and can absorb water, which may cause discoloration or damage. If your bag gets wet, gently pat it dry with a soft, clean cloth and allow it to air dry at room temperature.
• Protect from Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading and drying. Store your bag in a cool, shaded area when not in use.
• Handle with Clean Hands: Oils and dirt from your hands can transfer to leather. Always handle your bag with clean hands to avoid stains.
• Regular Dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and surface dirt.
• Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner or a mixture of water and gentle soap. Test the solution on a small, inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use harsh detergents, alcohol-based cleaners, or abrasive tools, as they can damage the leather.
Leather can dry out over time, especially in arid climates. Keep it supple and prevent cracking by conditioning it every 3–6 months:
• Use a high-quality leather conditioner or cream recommended for your type of leather.
• Apply a small amount using a soft cloth, rubbing gently in circular motions. Wipe off any excess product with a clean cloth.
• Avoid over-conditioning, as it can saturate the leather and weaken its structure.
Proper storage is essential to maintaining your bag's shape and appearance:
• Use a Dust Bag: Store your ANCHUVA purse in the dust bag provided to protect it from dust, dirt, and light.
• Maintain Its Shape: Stuff your bag with acid-free tissue paper or a soft cloth to help retain its shape during storage. Avoid using newspaper, as the ink may transfer to the leather.
• Keep Away from Heat and Humidity: Store in a cool, dry place, away from radiators, heaters, or damp areas.
• Metal Hardware: Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to clean metal hardware. Avoid exposing it to water or harsh chemicals to prevent tarnishing.
• Decorative Accents: Take care not to scratch or damage embellishments, zippers, or clasps.
• Do not overfill your bag, as it can strain the leather and cause permanent deformation.
• Avoid contact with oils, perfumes, and cosmetics, as they can stain or degrade the leather.
• Refrain from placing your bag on rough surfaces that may scratch or scuff it.
For deep cleaning or significant repairs, consult a professional leather specialist. They have the tools and expertise to handle delicate or intricate leatherwork.
